LADDIE AND NASH
Learn to Bake
Each day as Papa Buck heads to Buck’s Best Batch, little Laddie and Nash are left behind to dream about the sweet treats their daddy makes at the bakery. That is, until they take matters into their own paws. In this delightfully sweet adventure, two young pups explore a bakery and learn how to whip, whoosh, and whirl their way into a world of culinary delights—with a few little messes along the way!

. . . If you have a sweet tooth, this is the book for you. Using both rhyme and prose, the author tells a humorous tale that will make you laugh while teaching some valuable baking lessons. Cauthen's characters are so lively and full of quirks that you can't help but be entertained. Tim Stringer's illustrations are the icing on the cake ( no pun intended) as they enrich the read. The story also sends a beautiful message about having a passion for the things you love to do.

. . . this is more than a look at the bakery's history as it includes complex topics like segregation . . . The bakery's story is heartwarmingly told, tender and compassionate. The recipes that made it famous and the photographs that illustrate it make this a book to cherish.

. . . Laddie and Nash Learn to Bake is a delightful children's read. Anita helps children understand that curiosity is normal and is one of the ways children learn about the world around them. Tim Stringer's beautiful and colorful illustrations add even more humor to the story. At the end of the book, there is a recipe for Tea Ball Cookies so you and your children can practice safe baking skills. I recommend this book to all since cooking is a vital life skill.

From the processes, interactions, and personal and business relationships of the extended family that ran this icon of success to its intimate depiction of bygone times, and a vanished way of life, Lancaster Bakery pairs sweet memories with bakery recipes adapted for home cooks in a manner that will delight readers seeking more than just another collection of restaurant specialties.
-Diane Donovan for Midwest Book Review
. . . I appreciated how authentic author Anita Hinson Cauthen made this book feel because it's often underestimated how difficult running a bakery can be, and this book demonstrates that well. I believe it is necessary to teach this to children, and what better approach than with puppies and lovely illustrations by Tim Stringer. I highly suggest this book to anyone who enjoys pets and tasty baked treats. Is there anything better?
- Laura Imaz for Readers' Favorite
Lancaster Bakery is beautifully presented, with easy-to-follow recipes, stunning black-and-white photography, and carefully considered, endearing stories about childhood. These aren't sugar-coated memories either, and many will get readers in the emotional breadbasket.
